Improvement of the room climate
and energy saving
achieved with low investments
An optimized indoor climate has a positive
effect on our health and efficiency.
The room climate is mainly influenced by
the temperature (C°), the relative humidity
(RH, relative humidity in %) and the CO2
content (in ppm, parts per million) in the air.
This product range shows how a
comfortable room climate with a reduced
energy consumption can be achieved with
low investment measures.

Quality of the room climate /
Measures for an improved room climate and
energy consumption with low investments
Quality of the room climate
Our well being is influenced by the ambient
air temperature to a high degree. This
temperature can be adjusted to requirements
of comfort and low energy consumption by
using room temperature controllers in conjunction with hydraulically balanced radiators
and surface heating and cooling systems.
Also the temperature-dependent ambient air
humidity (RH) influences our well being.
Both, ambient air temperature and humidity,
can be displayed in a comfort diagram (see
illustration 1). The water vapour absorption
capacity of the air is determined by the RH
value. Moisture damages, for instance on
cold outer walls, may occur if this value is
exceeded over a longer period. Excessive
water vapour can be expelled by ventilating
the room. This way, moisture damages can
be avoided. The frequency of airing depends
on the outside temperature but a RH value
of 65% should not be exceeded.
After all, the quality of the room climate is
influenced by the carbon dioxide content
(CO2) to a high degree.

Measures for an improved room
climate and energy consumption with
low investments
Heat losses caused by room airing cannot
be avoided completely as a minimum of
airing must be ensured. For this reason,
the Energy Saving Directive prescribes a
minimum air exchange rate of 0.6-0.7h-1
which can be reached with the help of
different airing measures. Window airing
constitutes a very simple measure. Air
exchange rates up to 15 h-1 can be reached
by opening the window completely and an
improvement of the ambient air quality is
already reached after a few minutes. As little
energy as possible should be wasted during
airing. This objective is supported by the
display of the CO2 and RH values and their
allocation for an optimum indoor climate.
The following values are defined in the
guideline VDI 6022-3:
CO2 ≤ 1000 ppm (“Pettenkofer” limit)
RH about 30…65%
Once the measured value is again within the
recommended range, window airing can be
terminated. Warming up of the fresh air is
now the main task of the heating system.
The heat which is stored in the walls of the
room and the interior furnishing is retained
to a large extent.
When combining room temperature control
and the above airing measures, much more
energy can be saved than in systems in
which the climate values are ignored.

defined by the ambient air humidity and
the room temperature
2 Effects of window airing on the room
temperature and the CO2 content in the
ambient air (example).
*) The “Pettenkofer” limit is a value referring to the
CO2 concentration in the ambient air. When this
value is exceeded, the ambient air becomes inferior
as a result and fatigue phenomena occur. Indoor, a
value of 1000 ppm (parts per million) is acceptable.

“i-Tronic” Climate display device
Oventrop offers the climate display
device “i-Tronic” or the climate display
device/control “R-Tronic” for the
improvement of the room climate.
“i-Tronic” Climate display device
“i-Tronic TFC” is a climate meter monitoring
the important room climate parameters:
- room temperature (°C)
- relative humidity RH (%)
- carbon dioxide CO2 (ppm)
The climate meter shows the current
measured values. The improvement of the
indoor climate quality through airing is
directly visible. Thus, the user can carry
out the airing periods on an energy-saving
basis.
The use of the climate meter “i-Tronic
TFC” is an especially energy-saving and
low-investment measure for achieving a
good and healthy indoor climate.

“R-Tronic” Climate display device/control
The actuators “Aktor MH/MD CON B” e. g.
on the radiator are controlled via radio.
A maximum of three actuators “Aktor
MH/MD CON B” can be teached in on one
“R-Tronic”. For a mobile quick access via
the internet up to 16 wireless thermostats
can be teached in on the centre “Synet
CR” (see page 10). All settings are easily
made with the wireless thermostat and the
system status is displayed.
Adjustable nominal temperatures and time
profiles facilitate an optimum room
temperature control. Depending on the
model, the climate control additionally
displays the air humidity and the CO2
concentration. These values can then be
influenced directly (e. g. by airing).
Models:
- “R-Tronic RT B”:
Wireless thermostat with actuator “Aktor
MH/MD CON B” for the room temperature
control with timer functions.
- “R-Tronic RTF B”:
as “R-Tronic RT B”, but additionally with
integrated humidity sensor and display
of the relative humidity RH in %.
- “R-Tronic RTFC K”:

Additional
expenditure
The Oventrop climate display device /
control “R-Tronic RTFC K” facilitates the
improvement of the air quality and the
saving of energy.
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Rainer Hirschberg (publicly
appointed and sworn expert for heating,
ventilation/air-conditioning and sanitary
technology) outlines these advantages in the
study - Energetic evaluation of the room
control “R-Tronic” - amongst others for
residential areas in residential buildings.
The essential statements of the study are:
1. Air quality
The “R-Tronic RTFC K” measures the CO2
concentration and displays an exceedance
of the presettable limit value. Thus, the user
notices the necessity to ventilate the room
to maintain the air quality. At the same
time, a shortfall in the limit value
signals the user to terminate airing.
(Illustration 1 shows the temporal
development of the CO2 concentration
when using the “R-Tronic RTFC K”.)
For classification of the CO2 values as
indicator for the air quality, the “exceedance
index” has established itself. It is the product
of the exceedance average value (medium
CO2 concentration in ppm less reference
value 1500 ppm) and the excess frequency
(time share in % based on the whole period
considered – 24h – during which the CO2
concentration is higher than the reference
value).
(Illustration 2 shows the exceedance index
in ppm · % for a residential area with a
basic air exchange n=0.6 1/h.)
It is obvious that with a correct application
of the “R-Tronic RTFC K” with values less
than 1000 ppm · % (see page 3) an
optimum air quality relating to the CO2
concentration can be achieved.
2. Energy saving
The control concept of the “R-Tronic
RTFC K” (i. e. wireless thermostat and
actuator are separated) excludes the
heating medium temperature effect. The
study could determine a value for the
expenses which is far below the value
according to DIN V 18599-10 for PI
regulators with optimization function.
The study shows that approx. 29.1 % of
the energy can be saved compared to e. g.
standard thermostats directly mounted on
radiators in existing buildings.

consumption:

setback operation or standard operation
can be activated for the entire dwelling by

“R-Tronic WA K” Thermostat for heating and cooling operation
The “R-Tronic WA K” is an electronic
thermostat for room temperature control of
fan coil units with heating and cooling
function, for instance in hotel rooms
or rooms open to the public. A simple
menu guide allows selection of the nominal
room temperature between an upper and
lower limit, and three-stage or automatic
(temperature controlled) fan speed control.
Further settings, such as adjustment of the
upper and lower temperature limits, can only
be carried out by the qualified tradesman via
an encrypted access to the operating menu.
A wireless window contact “FK-C F” can be
teached in so that the heating or cooling
operation is interrupted when opening the
window.
